I am a registered psychotherapist specializing in somatic counseling. I work with clients from pre-teens to adults of all ages, individuals, couples and families. We use sensations, body awareness, and movement to work with what is coming up for you. My goal is to always have a curious perspective, helping let go of judgment for any humanly challenges, discomforts, and feelings. Issues can vary from physical symptoms that cause discomfort in daily life to anxiety, body image issues, wanting more happiness, self-growth, depression, social skills, self-esteem, shame, stress, spirituality, motivation, relationships and resistance. Please contact me for a free 30 minute initial meeting to discuss what you are looking for and if you have any questions for me.
